Spent an afternoon fly fishing Montana's Madison River in mid-July. What a fabulous river. I caught trout from the time I started fishing until the time I stopped. Literally non-stop action. I caught Cutthroat Trout, Cut-bows, Rainbows and Browns.
The Upper Madison is a large river with a ton of current. It is a Euro-nymphing fisherman's dream. Focusing on the pockets and current breaks was the key to success. I caught my fish on a size 14 Stone Pony and size 20 France Midge (both olive and black) on the dropper. When the wind really kicked up, I put on a 4mm, size 12 natural Walt's worm with an orange collar.
